TWG CLVIII: Survivor Valais Signups

Arntonach · 09-25-2016, 02:44 AM

Welcome everyone to another lovely Werewolf Game, were this game's theme is...

ta-da!

I swear this won't suck I promise

This year's Survivor game will take place in the lovely Canton of Valais in Switzerland (lets face it, we can't repeat anymore tropical destinations and the ones we wanted are either in the middle of a drug war, political strife or worse), home of the Matterhorn, Lake Geneva, some of the most beautiful vineyards in the world and the city of Sion. With varied weather topping out not only the driest canton but the wettest too as well as the many snow-capped mountains making the region very uneven, hiking boots will be a necessity (we still need you to take off your clothes for the cameras every now and then, we need the ratings).

In this game, 14 players will have to duke it out in trying to find the 2 eponymous "wolves" in the group while trying to stay in the game themselves. Getting eliminated by either getting lynched during the day or killed during the night is a loss for the player. Meanwhile, if the wolves die, then the remaining survivors win the game.

Survivors x 12 (Third Party. Wins if they're alive at the end of the game.)
Wolves x 2 (Scum. Wins if all Survivors are dead or will die without being able to stop them.)

The standard rules of the island:

Instalynches are Off; the day phase will keep going until the night phase rolls around.
The game starts during the day.
Cardflips are Partial; while the alignment of the player will be revealed, their gifted role will not be unveiled.
Nighttalk is On; post whenever you want in the thread, for it just might save you.
Out-Of-Thread-Contact is Off; Keep communication about the game in the thread and in the thread alone. (I don't know how this would play out in actual Survivor but whatever).
Phantoms are On; deciding to not vote will just make it easier for others to lynch you, so try to avoid it.
Knife-in-the-Back is Partial; ties are initially broken by who has had the most votes over the course of this game. If there's still a tie, then KitB will occur.
No-kill/No-lynch is Off; a lynch will take place at the end of the day to whoever has the most votes while the wolf's nightkill will be randomized if they can't or won't decide on who to kill.

Day phases are 72 hours which'll be reduced as contestants get eliminated, while night phases are 24 hours. Phases start/end at 10PM/22 server time. Any role/nightkill that goes unused goes unused. Day phases will be shortened to 48 hours once 7 players are left. Once down to 4 players, day phases go down to 24 hours and nightphases will be expidited.

Three Survivors will get a random role for a day at it's start in a PM, and will consisting of any of the following:

One Survivor is randomly declared as lynchproof (cannot be voted for lynch) at the start of every day. Whoever is lynchproof can give their lynchproof status to someone else until the last 24 hours of the day phase. This mechanic will be removed once 9 players are eliminated.

As a bonus, if anyone gets the hammer vote on a wolf, they get bulletproof (cannot be nightkilled) for the night.

in.

Voting OOTC: Off

ShadoWolfe · 09-25-2016, 03:31 AM

ShadoWolfe · 09-25-2016, 03:38 AM

OOTC: Nay, Off.

**Red Blaster** · 09-25-2016, 04:25 AM

I'm in if ootc is off

**roundbox** · 09-25-2016, 04:36 AM

in OOTC oFF

Wineandbread · 09-25-2016, 09:54 AM

in

I guess I don't really care about ootc either way, so I'll just vote no since that seems inevitable at this point

**_Zenith_** · 09-25-2016, 10:16 AM

replacement / OOTC: OFF

**Precarious** · 09-25-2016, 10:33 AM

In.

I'm not sure if I should post anything else given that I haven't played here previously, but I'm an experienced mafia player elsewhere, so hopefully that counts for something.

I'll vote Off on OOTC contact, because although I personally don't mind it, I have no real need for it either and it seems like just about everyone here really, really doesn't want it.

**Charu** · 09-25-2016, 11:52 AM

Now hold on fellas

Initially this game was OOTC on, so wouldn't turning it off actually ruin the mechanics of whatever this game is going for? I didn't read into the mechanics, but I'm pretty sure if it was on, it was put on for a reason, no?

It doesn't mess with the setup as bad as you initially thought

DaBackpack · 09-25-2016, 01:22 PM

in with ootc off

I kinda want OOTC on for authenticity (lol) but balance

**thesunfan** · 09-25-2016, 02:39 PM

well
I would be voting for yes but I'll vote for no since I don't want anyone not to play because of it

in ootc off

**AragakiAyase** · 09-25-2016, 03:14 PM

in, although on first glance and again rereading I don't see why any survivor would ever use their bodyguard role

except for the memes

edit: also would rather have OOTC off

**roundbox** · 09-25-2016, 03:28 PM

the memes

Tokzic · 09-25-2016, 03:56 PM

in, i don't personally want ootc but so many people have voted against it even though they don't care that i want to give it a fighting chance and will vote for it

Tokzic · 09-25-2016, 03:56 PM

tokzic that makes no sense what are you talking about

The mod must provide a correct answer.) - Actor (Can only vote for someone who has no votes on them, otherwise their vote doesn't count.) - Jailer (Can target someone at night who cannot use their role and are saved from any nightkills that night.) - Silencer (Can target someone at night that cannot post the following day phase. Ignoring this power leads to getting modkilled. Note that whomever gets silenced will not incur a Phantom that day.) - Voteless (Their vote doesn't count. They still will incur a Phantom if they don't "vote".) - Preserver (Can target someone at night who will have to carry over their role to the next day. This "carry over" counts as one of the three roles for the day. Targeting who had the Hidden Immunity has no effect.) - Hidden Immunity (Cannot be lynched. If they have enough votes at the end of the day to be lynched, the person with the 2nd most votes gets lynched instead.)
